Whether you have 10lbs to lose or 100, join me in this mini challenge to pull ourselves out of a heavy winter sleep so we can step lightly into spring. We can do it!
Hi! I just joined and am wondering what the initials stand for? I got SW--starting weight,
but what about the others?
Also, I recently starting tracking what I eat and find that I am often not getting up to
the caloric intake I have as a target. Yet, I am not losing weight. I often am so busy
during the day, that I have a hard time incorporating snacks, so I often get home at night
and still have the majority of my calories to consume, especially if I excercise.
Any tips on how to get the right kind of calories through out the day? It also looks like
I tend to go over on protien and sugars, but don't get enough carbs! Any suggestions would
be appreciated!
Welcome! I'm new here too, but the numbers are, you're right about SW, Starting Weight. LW Last Week. CW Current Weight. The group weighs in on Tuesday mornings, the list 1) How many days did they journal or track their food on TDP (The Daily Plate), 2) How many days their sodium under 2400, 3) How many days their Fiber at 24 or higher, 4) How many days they drank their 8 glasses of water. 5) How many minutes they exercised, and if they know the # of calories burned.
Some here have a CSW which means Challenge Starting Weight. This group been going on a long time and some have been around longer than this particular challenge, which began in February.
Can't help you with the carbs issue...I am heavily into those! My challenge is always to eat carbs with low sugars! (Get it 'heavily'...ha ha).
It's great to track your food and see right where the 'components' are...sugar, sodium, etc.
Planning, planning, planning is the only tip I could offer about calories throughout the day. Making your snacks ahead of time and having them ready to go with you to work.
Good luck here and with your weight loss effort. Lots of people here know much more than I do...they're very supportive!
Thanks!
